Discount Armageddon by Seanan Mcguire
First book in New York Times-bestselling Seanan McGuire's witty urban fantasy InCryptid series about a family of cryptozoologists who act as a buffer between humans and the magical creatures living in secret around us.The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book. --Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series Cryptid, noun Any creature whose existence has not yet been proven by science. See also Monster. Crytozoologist, noun Any person who thinks hunting for cryptids is a good idea. See also idiot. Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night. The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity--and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren't for the talking mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster-hunter sent by the Price family's old enemies, the Covenant of St. George. When a Price girl meets a Covenant boy, high stakes, high heels, and a lot of collateral damage are almost guaranteed. To complicate matters further, local cryptids are disappearing, strange lizard-men are appearing in the sewers, and someone's spreading rumors about a dragon sleeping underneath the city.
